Should hasClass precede removeClass - jQuery

Asked 2012-06-05T10:27:53.407

Is it necessary to check if a class exists before I use the removeClass api on an jquery object? eg.

if($(this).hasClass("test"))
   $(this).removeClass("test");

$(this).removeClass("test");

if not necessary, why so?

No, not necessary to check for removeClass().

Just use

   $(this).removeClass("test");
